Re: Mod note: re voiceover words per minute
If you'll note the last response was at around 2:00 PM U.S Eastern time yesterday. It seems that this topic has been quiet enough to ignore. If you want to address the content of the discussion, that may be appropriate but in this case, it seems a little much.

Re: voiceover words per minute
Sure, I can follow it at 80 too. It's all about training the ear. I could probably go up to 85 at this point but I really don't see the need.

Re: voiceover words per minute
I can understand VO at around 75, but ifi'm reading something then i slow it down to about 55 to 60 On 2011-05-03, at 4:47 PM, erik burggraaf wrote: Sure, I can follow it at 80 too.

Re: voiceover words per minute
In all these thread replies, I don't think anyone has answered the author's question. While I don't have a mac, the same thing should apply here. To get an approximate value for words per minute, you should be able to do something like this: 1. Select a portion of text, for example out of a book, webpage or email with about 1000 words. Copy and paste it into a document. Get a word count. Your editor should have some way to do that. Set your desired rate, go to the top of the document, and start a timer. I don't know if there are any software timers for the mac, but you need to time it to the second or so, or get a longer sample. When it finishes reading, stop the timer and do the math. wpm = wordcount/elapsed time in minutes On Tue, May 03, 2011 at 02:15:52PM -0500, Greg Aikens wrote: Hi all, Does anyone know the estimate of words per minute corresponding to the different voiceover rates?
